The Brazil's Supreme Court has rejected former President Jair Bolsonaro's appeal against his 27-year jail term, upholding the conviction for his role in the 2021 coup attempt. The court's decision was unanimous, with all 11 justices voting to maintain the sentence. Bolsonaro was found guilty of inciting violence and attempting to overthrow the democratically elected government. The ruling comes as Bolsonaro's successor, President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, has pledged to investigate and prosecute those responsible for the coup attempt and the violence that followed.

The US Supreme Court has allowed the Trump administration to enforce a policy that limits passport gender markers to male or female, blocking transgender and non-binary people from choosing other options. The court's decision reverses a previous policy that allowed self-identification of gender on passports. This move has been criticized by LGBTQ+ advocates and is seen as a setback for transgender rights in the United States.
